Recently joined the culture club and ordered some genetics. Very impressed with the packaging and quality of the cultures. The golden enoki and lions mane plate cultures are super aggressive. Also tried out the king oyster and reishi grain spawn. So far every thing I have received has performed well on media and grain, moved 40 blocks into my tents this morning, looking forward to seeing the final product and yields. Thank you so much for everything you do, you have a lifetime customer here. Soon I will be trialing out the maitake and 3790 shiitake to compare with my current cultures

I have been using a manual CO2 meter to read grow rooms and then on/off timers to adjust cycle times on negative pressure exhaust  for a couple of years. I have multiple grow rooms of 165 sqft.  I'm contemplating moving to CO2 controllers, primarily for greenhouses, and I see a few out there for under $150. Any preferences? Good experiences, bad experiences? 

I have one InkBird that I use primarily to exhaust the whole facility during closed up winter months.

I just watched the combo pellet episode and i'm sold on them! it does seem like they would make our life easier for sure. Only question is, do you guys know about any distributors up here in Quebec? I mean they look so helpful i'm considering trying to develop some up here if there's no suppliers around.

Just watched the Culture Preservation episode, short but sweet. In the daily grin I don’t see myself in the near future using a deep freeze cryogenic method, I shall leave that to you guys. But the slant method at 34f is possible or the sterile h2o method at 34f would be so helpful to just grab and restart a line. That is what I think most of us on small farms want to see more of. The ability of every so many months to get a culture from you and expand and store for a limited time of production would allow being proactive to future production problems instead of being reactive to nightmarish results of when a culture shits the bed. I would also like to thank you guys for the great service I have received for the last few years keep up the great work. Also would like to see an episode on the KOM shiitake and other peoples techniques with this one as it has been the fastest shiitake I have grown so far a few less fruits but 2 weeks less in the production cycle.

Re: Pheno Flick 3: Lion's Mane - Been working to to dial in my Lion's Mane and this video was super helpful. One thing that really caught my attention is your standard spawn to substrate ratio, with the range being from 2% - 5% and the "standard" at  ~3.3%. I have been experimenting within a 5% - 20% range, so I am excited to try out your standard and go from there. Up until recently, I have been using Liquid cultures and agar slurry for culture expansion / storage, but have transitioned to Agar and grain master method, which makes soooo much sense. Thanks!

I'm planing to build a new laboratory with 2 Fan Filter units 4x4 feet's. I wann have positive pressure system inside like you guys have in one of podcast. Here I'm sending my poor picture how is should look a like. First room is Lab, second is mixing/cooking area for grain spawn and third is like halfway. On picture you can see what are dimensions of all 3 spaces. I don't have a lot od space to build a plenum so I was thinking to just add some fan with filters that will blow air inside of lab but not too strong so I don't get turbulent air in front of my floowhoods. How can I calculate how strong fan I need for that?

Combo pellets was pretty cool to see. $500 for a ton seems really affordable too. I've spent over $500 this year for far less than 2,000 lbs...........shit. I've went the soy pellets and hwfp and to see your pellets like with no standing h2o in the bag looks perfect.

Chestnuts 🤘.  Couldn't get coroplast but this is better than I expected ATM. Lot of work and about 100% know-how from RR and the Mycowizards. Thanks ☮️

Hello mush community! I just saw the episode Steam Generation and I was wondering can someone put the link of that Chinese steam generator that Erik was showing because everything that I found is not as cheap as he mentioned in this episode?

Can anyone provide info or links on boiler water treatment filters/systems.  I couldn’t find the right thing. I’ve been really burning out a bunch of elements lately. 

Also, y’all know about a company that does mushroom extraction services like powders, dual or tinctures??
